NetEase Games has confirmed that Hawkeye will be part of the Marvel Rivals character roster when the upcoming PS5 title launches on 6th December 2024. He's the 28th superhero of a launch lineup that'll have 33 characters in total, so a further five are still to be revealed in the next couple of weeks. Our Marvel Rivals Confirmed Launch Characters guide is keeping a list of them all.

As the quick clip above demonstrates, Hawkeye will come equipped with his trademark bow and arrow, but can also call upon two swords for close-quarters combat. "Hawkeye is ready to take aim with his Piercing Arrow, charging his shot for the right moment," the YouTube description explains. "Prepared to fight anyone at any distance, his blast arrow is sure to wreak havoc to those who dare try and get close to him. Deflecting his enemies is certainly no easy task, but he's ready to prove himself and take on the challenge."

Marvel Rivals launches as a free-to-play PS5 game on 6th December 2024, and will provide instant access to all the 33 playable characters. NetEase Games has ensured there won't be any pay-to-win elements, with a Season 0 carrying the game for one month, until the proper first season arrives in January.
